Cadulus [Cadulus]

Description

Cadulus is a genus of small, tusk-shaped scaphopods that are part of the family Gadilidae. These marine mollusks are distinguished by their slender, slightly curved shells, which house the soft-bodied animal inside. They are found in various marine environments, from shallow coastal waters to deep-sea habitats. Cadulus species are detritivores, feeding on organic particles they collect from the surrounding sediment.
